[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 120461, member: 9240"] Just remember, he can sell you glass and bodies. ISO doesn't put money in his pocket. He's right that boosting ISO will impact image quality. But I don't care how fast your glass is, even with a 300mm f2.8 at over $5K you're going to have to boost your ISO to shoot that bird on a cloudy day. The key is to find a camera that will not compromise quality at reasonable ISO settings. FX sensors will surely give you better IQ at higher ISO, but at a higher initial cost. I am blown away by the IQ on my D600 even at ISO's over 1000. Here are a coupl bird in flight shots taken with my D7000 at ISO 1000...

[IMG]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8507/8460013488_54bf7a9477_o.jpg[/IMG] All 3 were subjected to some (not severe) post processing noise reduction in Lightroom 4. As were these two, taken with my D600 at ISO 800. [IMG]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8251/8459007934_10e40a5b20_o.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8241/8459007860_da366eec78_o.jpg[/IMG] You can see the difference (at least I can), but both cameras perform superbly at those ISO's. I suspect that the D7100 will be as good or better than the D7000, but please read my post about the buffer size in the new camera in the D7100 forum. [/QUOTE]
